He was rough and bold, showing no consideration whatsoever as a father.
Yuan Jiang was terrified.
If Xiao Bao saw this, she would probably die of embarrassment on the spot!
Fortunately, neither Xiaobao nor Xiaobai came in during those hour and a half.
Yuan Jiang's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She slowly moved to the innermost part of the bed, her little face still bearing mottled tear stains. She didn't make a fuss, but silently cried as she picked up her clothes and put them on. Then she lay on the bed with her back to Lin Xianghuai.
Lin Xianghuai pursed his lips, his joy and excitement vanishing in an instant. Her appearance annoyed and made him feel guilty. Compared to Yuan Jiang crying and yelling at him, her silent crying was even more irritating to him.
He put on his clothes, his face dark and sour: "Did I hurt you?"
"You...don't cry."
Yuan Jiang's slender body trembled as she cried. She ignored his words and continued to cry while biting her lip.
"What do you want me to do?" Lin Xianghuai's face darkened further.
He wanted to leave, but he was afraid that she would cry even more miserably after he left.
I must have owed her something in my past life!
Yuan Jiang looked at him with her eyes red and swollen from crying: "I want to leave the village."
“If you can’t leave the village, then I’ll take Xiaobao with me.”
Lin Xianghuai laughed angrily: "You ran away on your own, and now you're taking my child with you?!"
"Yuan Jiang, you are such a heartless woman!"
"I'm telling you, if you go with Xiaobao, I'll die!"
Yuan Jiang sniffed the moisture from her nose, slowly sat up, and said unreasonably, "Then you'll come with me."
Lin Xianghuai frowned, remained silent for a moment, then lifted his eyelids to look at her: "Do you really want to leave the village?"
"Hmm." Yuan Jiang nodded, pondered for a moment, and then explained the reason why she had left the village. Otherwise, given Lin Xianghuai's personality, he would definitely not have allowed her to leave the village.
She was the daughter of the Chu family, but was maliciously switched by the Chu family's nanny and kept in the countryside. She was also constantly beaten by the nanny. Yuan Jiang added fuel to the fire, saying, "I have always felt that I am not her biological daughter because she has always abused me. She doesn't let me sit at the table to eat, makes me do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and I am beaten every day. When I was sixteen, she planned to sell me at a high price! I never thought that I really wasn't her daughter."
"Five years ago, after I found out about this, I wanted to go to the Chu family to expose it, but I never expected to become a fool."
"Now that I'm clear-headed, I'm definitely going back to settle this score!" Yuan Jiang sniffed, glanced cautiously at Lin Xianghuai's increasingly gloomy face, and continued, "Luckily, you found me, otherwise that woman would have definitely sold me for a few hundred yuan!"
Lin Xianghuai's cold, hard face softened slightly.
Seeing this, Yuan Jiang mustered her courage and tugged at his sleeve: "Even if you don't think about me, you should at least think about Xiao Bao. He can't stay in the Miao village as an illiterate person forever..."
“I’m not illiterate, I can read.” Lin Xianghuai frowned even more, glancing at Yuan Jiang’s pitiful and expectant look. His mind was in turmoil. He pulled Yuan Jiang’s hand away, knowing that she was only getting close to him in order to get his permission to leave the village.
He silently packed up the things he had bought that day.
Yuan Jiang sat on the bed, hugging her knees, looking at him expectantly.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xianghuai finished cleaning the house and looked at Yuan Jiang, his gaze penetrating Hui Mo: "Let me think about it."
Yuan Jiang's eyes lit up: "Mm!"
